2 String like Questions[Help Plz]

[$uper-$tar]

I play a game called: Anaroch.Com and I made a client so I could check my stats as I went up XP and things like that.

But I cant get these string functions...

1. Search the strHTML for <img height="75" src="anaroch.cgi?captcha=1058824761" width="100">
and if it finds it it would send a message box up saying "Image Stop"

2. Search the strHTML which would be something like:
<font face="arial" size="2">
Name: <font color="#ffff00" face="arial" size="2">
SuperStar101</font>; AP: <font color="#ffff00" face="arial">17500

So I can take out the SuperStar101 (The name) and 17500 (The AP)


If you can help, I will put ya in the credits =P (Many Many people are getting to program, if ya wanna check it out so far:

Do some research on Instr, Mid,Left,Right functions..

No luck, thats why if someone could show a ex of getting the name, or taking a string:

"alpha beta charlie delta echo"

and get charlie out of it. It would Help Alot. Like ALOT

VB has a help system (and a web site - http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/ )

It has examples

The above functions all have examples in VB help and the web site.

Have a look

THis will get charlie from that string

Dim MyArray() as String
MyArray=Split("alpha beta charlie delta echo"," ")
Msgbox MyArray(2)

That uses the Split function to break that string into an array of individual words using the Delimiter " ". If you said Msgbox MyArray(4) you would get the word "echo"

BUt for your other examples it won;t be nearly as simple. You'll have to use Mid AND Split AND Maybe even Instr.

Here's an example of using Mid. I'm going to get the string "aaa" out of the string "bbbbbbaaacccccc".

Dim i as integer,TheChar as String,TheString as string
 
For i = 1 to Len("bbbbbbaaacccccc")
TheChar=Mid("bbbbbbaaacccccc",i,1)'This means start at "i" whatever number that is in the loop and then go over 1 character at a time
If TheChar="a" Then TheString=TheString & TheChar'Get the letter "a" from the string and add it to the extracted string.
Next
 
Msgbox TheString
